It'll be hard to recognize old friends bundled up with masks on (but probably helpful in keeping old friends).  Maybe we should have name tags.

Saturday was a beautiful day at El Mirage.  A better turn-out than October as I understand it.  The morning started a little chilly with a nice tailwind helping the early runs.  Lotsa records with, it seemed to me, a bunch of well-prepared vehicles.  The day continued with bright sunlight, a temp of about 62 that felt 70s, the wind going away and turning into a headwind in the early afternoon.  Everyone was offered the chance to make 3 runs.  They were begging for vehicles until they closed the day at 2 P.M.

Don't know anything about today's activities.

Looking at the weather for El Mirage, It looks like we got some last week or so. Also in the last couple days, Lake Los
Angeles, which is about 10 miles west got almost an inch and a half.  Bring it on. We need it.

   rained 1,46 in Sat may 21 between 4:30pm & 6:30 pm at weather station & far end of lakebed.

    End of course under water when driving back from Adelanto where we went through a torrential downpour

   and major flooding on Chamberlan Rd .  Start and middle of course light rain and not muddy. Sun not muddy.

     Race was cancelled and racerers were advised to exit west through the SCTA trailer shed gate and make a l

left turn and follow signs to EL Mirage RD,

Some didn't get the massage or ignored it and went out the regular way and got stuck.

Way out was washborded as HELL and caused problems.

We ran 2x Saturday, left the bike and trailer for maybe another run Sunday. It rained. Picked up trailer etc Sunday AM. Hadda go around the lakebed using a road around the "top." Used a pathway to get back down to the lake bed. Some wet areas we managed to avoid. Some cracks we took care while driving across.
Picked up the trailer and left using the "road" near the SCTA buildings.
Thanks to The Hoogerhydes for critical directions!

All in all ... an adventure.

Hopepfully see ya'll in June.
